Old Time Rock And Roll Too

We're an American Bandstand generation and some of us are barely alive
But we could bob 'til you drop, back at the hop to a big stack of forty-fives
It was drive-in burgers and drive-in movies and driving the young girls wild
Everything's changed, nothing the same.  But the music never goes out of style

CHORUS:
Old time rock and roll
The kind of music that you feel down in your soul
Ain't nothing new, it's not gonna fool ya, you know how it goes
When it's old time rock and roll

I'm no spring chicken but I was just a young'un when Elvis started doing his thing
And I would splish splash taking a bath, leave a Boney Maroney ring
My first true love was Annette Funicello like a million other guys my age
Thinking 'bout Bobby Socks babysitters, has got me longing for the good old days

REPEAT CHORUS:

Well the Good Lord knows my boogie woogie soul's gonna rise up now and then
Hop on my flat top play a little non stop rhythm from way back when
Its semi sentimental, it feels like solid gold
It starts with a twitchin' and a little toe tappin' 'til your whole body's out of control

REPEAT CHORUS:
